2026 WCQ: Nigeria faces South Africa in a defining moment
*Daily Post Nigeria* / Don Silas /

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will today, Friday, host the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

The match is pivotal for both Nigeria and South Africa as they seek to solidify their positions in Group C.

As it stands, Finidi George’s side sits in the third position in Group C with two points from two matches, after draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe, respectively.

Rwanda tops the group with four points, while South Africa is in second place with three points.

Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Benin round out the group.

For Nigeria, this match represents an opportunity to record their first win in the group stage, a necessity if they hope to secure direct qualification for the World Cup or at least a chance to compete in the inter-confederation playoffs.

A victory would not only boost their points tally but also their morale and confidence moving forward.

The last time Nigeria and South Africa met was at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, semi-final clash in Ivory Coast this year.

The Super Eagles defeated South Africa 4-2 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.

DAILY POST reports that South Africa will aim to avenge the AFCON defeat, while Nigeria will aim to consolidate their superiority over the Bafana Bafana.

Super Eagles coach, Finidi George, is expected to deploy an attacking 4-3-3 formation, while South Africa coach Hugo Broos is likely to favour a balanced 4-2-3-1 formation.

Nigeria and South Africa have a storied rivalry in African football. 1

The two nations have faced each other numerous times, with memorable encounters in both the AFCON and World Cup qualifiers.

Historically, Nigeria has had the upper hand, but South Africa has proven to be a formidable opponent in recent years.

Given the stakes, both teams are expected to approach the game with carefulness, yet attacking mindset.

Nigeria’s home advantage and the need for a win could propel them to play more aggressively.

However, South Africa’s disciplined approach under Broos will make them difficult to break down.

DAILY POST reports that Friday’s match promises to be a thrilling encounter with high stakes for both Nigeria and South Africa.

The outcome could significantly impact the dynamics of Group C and the prospects of both teams for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Fans can expect a hard-fought battle under the lights of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, with both teams aiming to emerge victorious and edge closer to their World Cup dreams.

Speaking with DAILY POST ahead of the clash, Charles Ogundiya of New Telegraph, said the encounter between Nigeria and South Africa is more than just a ‘qualifier.’

“The Super Eagles’ match with South Africa is more than just a qualifier. It’s a defining moment for both teams in their 2026 FIFA World Cup journey,” Ogundiya told DAILY POST.

“I know the South Africans would try to get revenge against Nigeria because the Super Eagles defeated them at the 2023 AFCON in the semi-final stage.

“I know that a victory for either side could significantly alter the dynamics of Group C, because Nigeria are one point behind South Africa in the table.”

When asked for his prediction, Ogundiya said he expects an intense clash, adding that the team who take their chances would eventually win the tie.

He said, “Well, I expect an intense match and the team that takes their chances in front of goal will win the match.”

“I’m tipping Nigeria to edge South Africa by 2 goals to 1.”

How bad is the world really becoming?
Once upon a time, children were seen as blessings and were cared for by everyone in the neighborhood. Everyone saw his or her neighbor's child as their own and would do whatever was possible to protect, teach, and even correct them whenever they were going off-route. Fast forward to 2010, and a turn and shift from morals began to grow. Kids became more disrespectful, parents lost control of their children, and neighbors lost the right to correct kids in the hood because it would be seen as wicked and evil.
@2020, we saw kids giving birth to kids. Who goes to train who?
So bad that parents encourage bad behaviors in their children; a correction from anyone is now seen as child abuse; kids no longer assist their parents (it's a disturbance). Young lads' smoke, take alcohol, and abuse drugs like norms; God has been removed from the picture and hearts; it's all about money, S*x, dressing, material possessions, drugs, alcoholism, and all manner of negativities.
How did we get here?
Teachers are scared of punishing students in schools when they misbehave because he or she would risk being sued and end up losing their job if they dare to.
Well, it shall be a horrible sight to behold in another 10 years to come; 20 would be disastrous, as many would pray not to live to witness the horror of these new generations that have been raised in lawlessness, lack of respect, no fear for crime, no regard for God, and great passion about making money no matter the cost and price to pay. What is left to be done by our generation that didn't happen in S***m and Gomorrah that warranted total destruction of the city and it's dwellers by God with fire?
Grace indeed!!!
HEAL THE WORLD!!!

Seven residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) abducted from Sagwari Estate in Bwari Area Council have been released by their abductors.

LEADERSHIP had reported that gunmen raided the estate located opposite Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) Dutse, around 8pm penultimate Sunday and abducted 10 residents.

Their abductors gave a deadline for the payment of ransom, and failure of the family to meet their demand led to the killing of one of the victims, Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar.

Other captives murdered were Talatu Salihu, a 400 level student of Library and Information Science, Bayero University Kano (BUK); Akpagher Joseph Terzungwe, and 13-year-old Mitchell Ariyo.

After killing them, the kidnappers raised the ransom of the remaining victims and set a deadline of Wednesday.

A resident who preferred anonimity in the area disclosed that the seven remaining victims, a female hotel receptionist, a mother and her three children, as well as two little children, had been released to their respective family members.

He, however, disclosed that both families have moved away to undisclosed location.

The development comes after the four remaining siblings of late Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah, who was killed in captivity, regained their freedom late Saturday night.

Recall that the Al-Kadriyar sisters were abducted alongside their father early January.

After killing the Nabeeha, the bandits had raised the ransom from N60 million to N100 million, threatening to kill the remaining sisters.

A man in France on Sunday confessed to killing his three children and turned himself in, said prosecutors and a police source.

“A man presented himself to the police in Dieppe (Seine-Maritime) to report that he had killed his three children,” the public prosecutor said, referring to the town in the northern French region of Normandy.

The bodies of two children were then found in the town of Alfortville, in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, where the father lives.

“Two deaths have been confirmed,” said the public prosecutor.

The children were stabbed to death, said a police source, without providing other details on the children or any information about the third child.

The father, who was born in 1982, had been convicted of domestic violence in 2021, said a source close to the case.

A restraining order against him was issued but subsequently lifted.

The man was taken into police custody, the prosecutors said.
